@aya2mohammed's fundraiser is going slowly, raising only a little per day. It is only at 25.674/50.000€.

I'm appealing once more to everyone, to donate and share this fundraiser.

Israeli forces continue to force constant evacuation of Palestinians, sending them from one so-called safe zone to another, while proving again and again that nowhere is truly safe. Please do not hesitate to help a family in need, to help my friend Mohammed, his wife and children, and his parents to find the refuge they truly deserve, to be safe when it is so difficult to be safe.

To recount his own post here (post linked):

For 322 days we have lived under the weight of war in our area. I am Mohammed, and I live with my three children and my parents who suffer from chronic illnesses. Every day, we face conflict and difficult conditions😣😣 My children live in constant fear and my parents suffer from pain without access to treatment😣😓 Despite all the hardshipsI continue to strive to provide food and water for my family and work to keep their hope for a better life alive👇

Our story reflects the strength of resilience in the face of crises, and we express our hope for a better tomorrow despite everything we are going through🤚🤚🙏🙏

Please do not hesitate to give what you can, and to share if you cannot🙏🙏

I met this nice girl through my college friend. She's my friend's childhood best friend and I had heard so much about her so I was really excited to finally meet her. The three of us hung out at a stupid school-sponsored event into the late hours of the night, drinking soda and eating pizza and getting to know each other. At the end of it, she entered into a raffle and ended up winning free tickets to Disneyland. We celebrated and parted ways. It was the highlight of that semester.

A few months later, Israel began dropping bombs on her family home. I watched from afar as her entire life fell apart and her family was displaced and killed. Every time I asked how she was doing, she was doing bad.

In Palestine, as in a lot of places in the world, it is shameful to ask for money. A little bit after the war began, I passed a message along to her family offering to help raise funds for their evacuation, but they declined saying that they didn't want pity from anyone. Now it seems like they're running out of options.

My friend has already lost so much so please spare her the additional indignity of asking for help and not receiving it. I can't imagine how soul crushing it would be to do something you believe to be shameful and for your effort to go to waste.

Their goal is only $5000 and they've already raised ~$820, I don't see why we can't raise the full amount within the next week.

Verified by the fact that this is literally my IRL. DM me if u wanna see her Instagram or other contact info proving she's real. Tumblr is a rather unsafe place for Palestinians so I'd rather not publicize all her personal info but I've been pretty careful with the fundraisers I boost on this blog so I hope you can trust me here.

BIRD IN A SUPERMARKET!!!

Virginia Rail (Rallus limicola), family Rallidae, order Gruiformes, found across much of North and Central America

This image of a rail in a supermarket went viral a few years ago. I do not know where this happened. Virginia Rails are usually found in marshes, and do not normally feed on dark chocolate.

Hey guys!

I know we are helping with families in Palestine, but can we PLEASE give Sudan the same energy for a few second?

Many people are displaced, starving, and trying to escape the RSF (Rapid Support Forces) by evacuating to neighbouring countries or overseas.

(If you do not know what is happening in Sudan, click here.)

I want to bring your attention to four (4) fundraisers. Three of them are from Tumblr users! I also have donated to these campaigns, so please consider doing the same! It will help them so much!

URGENT: Eman Abdelrahman (CHF26,218 / CHF38,475).

@emooz-8 | Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

This is the link to her extended family's fundraiser!

She and her family are in IMMEDIATE DANGER! The RSF is closing in her location. They can harm her and her family at any time! Eman needs to evacuate NOW!

Sajida's five (5) families (£7,062 / £30,000).

@niqabisinparis | Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

This fundraiser is for Sajida's extended family.

They have been displaced from Khartoum for more than a year now and reside in a makeshift home in the scorching hot desert with no A/C and no windows. The temperature can go up 52°C (122°F)! (This is mentioned in their fundraiser).

The last update is that they have received their passports!

Randa and her family (€20,067 / €35,000).

@rnd8

Randa is in Rwanda so the campaign is to reunite her with her six family members! She has posted an update on June 26th, almost three weeks ago:

Her family has their visa rejected when they entered Rwanda, so they are staying in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, but only temporarily. They have to borrow money to cover the high cost of living as well as issue new visas for Rwanda. (This is mentioned in her fundraiser).

Elaf Babiker ($18,570 USD / $35,000).

Verified and vetted by @/el-shab-hussein.

Elaf is a medical student in her final year as well as the eldest daughter. She wants to evacuate to Rwanda.

Last update: July 25th!

The RSF has claimed more terrority and closed more borders. It will be much more difficult to leave Sudan via ground transportation. So the best option is to take a flight from Port Sudan to Ethiopia and then she and her family will be Rwanda.

My donation to Elaf's fundraiser is not in the donation match's post. So here is a screenshot.

Thank you for making it this far! I didn't mean to make this long. I try to condense it as much as I can! Either way, please have a look and match!

supporting communities & people impacted by the Southport attack and the far-right riots in the UK

here is a list of community fundraisers I found, starting with those aiming to support the Southport community after the appalling attack at a children dance party, to the fundraisers helping those affected by the subsequent racist and Islamophobic far-right/nazi riots

Southport:

Southport Strong Together Appeal - organised by the community foundation for Merseyside, for those affected by the Southport knife attack

United for Southport families - the funds will be distributed among the nine families of the children who were at the party

Swifties for Southport - a fundraiser for the Alder Hey Children's charity, which supports the victims and the affected families, as well as first responders and clinicians. Extra funds will also support the wider Southport community

Fundraiser for the Southport Mosque - a fundraiser to aid rebuilding or possibly re-locating the Southport Mosque after the damages it suffered during the riots

Rebuilding Windsor Mini Mart - fundraiser to rebuild the locally-owned grocery store that was targeted during the attacks, broken into, and looted

Liverpool:

Fundraiser for the Spellow Hub - the Spellow Hub was broken into, looted and set on fire at night during the riots. The Spellow Hub is a newly created one-of-a-kind (in the UK) institution, which consists of a library as well as a community centre with a mission to help people get education and pathways to work

Books for Spellow Lane - another fundraiser for the library in the Spellow Hub, to replace the books and rebuild the library there

Hartepool:

Fundraiser for the Nasir Mosque - the Nasir Mosque was attacked following Southport riots; this fundraiser is organised by Hartepool citizens to help the mosque deal with the damages as well as to show appreciation for the role of the mosque in the community

Rebuilding the Farm Shop - the shop was targeted during the riots, and when the owner and his son tried to protect it, they were also violently attacked. The fundraiser is to help fix the damages to the store.

Sunderland:

help rebuild Citizens Advice Sunderland offices after arson - two of the Citizens Advice Sunderland offices were set on fire during the riots, and one of them is completely destroyed.

Hull:

Hull Help for Refugees - a local fundraiser to support the Hull Help for Refugees charity, the donated money will be re-distributed to community members affected by the riots

Fundraiser for Hull Help for Refugees and Welcome House in Hull - collected money will be donated to the two charities

Belfast:

rebuilding the Sahara Shisha Cafe, now also other businesses affected by the riots - the Sahara Shisha Cafe was targeted by the far right in Belfast during the riots. The fundraiser for the Cafe was very generously supported, so now the collected money will also go to support other affected businesses in the area

If you want to donate locally but there is no fundraiser to support where you live, consider donating to your local charities oriented towards Muslim or Arab communities, or towards refugee organizations! And go support your local Muslim/Arab/Refugee owned businesses!

If you have any information about other local fundraisers, feel free to add to the post or don't hesitate to let me know and I will add them here! We have seen so much hate in the past few days, we have to stay strong and keep supporting each other!

Stay safe everyone 💛

Sonya Massey was a paranoid-schizophrenic woman who turned to the police when she was scared and suspected an intruder inside of her home; she was a Black, mentally ill, woman shot dead and executed by a white police officer solely because she said "I rebuke you" over a pot of water. she was DUCKING DOWN behind a counter repeating the words "I'm sorry" as he advanced and, eventually, killed her. Sean Grayson, a white police officer, executed her.

her name was Sonya Massey. she was a human being who deserved to live. say her fucking name. Sonya Massey.

edit: please do not erase or negate the fact that Sonya was schizophrenic. Black schizophrenic people are more likely to die at the hands of the police as well as be brutalised by them, and by negating the fact that she was schizophrenic, you are erasing that this was an execution fuelled by BOTH racism & saneism. please have some respect and continue to say her name, thank you.
